That includes revenue sharing payments to local governments, as well as plans for using federal pandemic aid. While local governments rely on revenue sharing payments, an even bigger deal is approving the state’s allocation of American Rescue Plan funds. Chris Hackbarth of the Michigan Municipal League says construction season in Michigan has already begun, so the Legislature needs to figure it out soon, otherwise "we’ve missed this construction season so the impact that this $3-plus billion could have on any construction projects this year is gone.”
